KoSha, one of Chicago's very own rising female hip hop artists, began her hip hop career early in 2004, first starting out as a producer/engineer with her own production company, B-Smooth Productions.
In July of 2006, she was signed to a production deal with the legendary Chi-Sound Records ran by Mr. Carl Davis (Gene Chandler, Tyrone Davis, The Dells, Manchild featuring Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and the Chi-Lites). The single "Angel In Da Sky" from her debut album entitled "B4 My Time...I Got Next!!! was featured in the BET movie "Reflections", directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love And Basketball) in February 2007. KoSha has worked with multi-platinum and gold producer Kevin "K-Low" Rhames of LiveSquad (Tupac Shakur, Nas, Biggie, Digital Underground). One must agree that her determination and drive and the music she pours out from her soul will definitely put her in the rankings of a Mc Lyte, Queen Latifa and those who are considered to be female hip hop history makers.
KoSha
Welcome to the world of KoSha, one of Chicago's very own rising female hip hop artists. Much has been accomplished by this very talented emcee, but yet so much more is in store! KoSha started her hip hop career early in 2004, first starting out as a producer/engineer with her own production company, B-Smooth Productions, and then developing her emceeing skills. With this new found passion, she recorded songs and began performing locally. Soon thereafter, a buzz around town began to develop. She furthered to expose her music on the internet, only to increase the already created buzz.
In June of 2005, KoSha was spotlighted along with fellow emcee and long time friend Moesta, on Chicago's #1 radio station 107.5 WGCI with their collaboration song "Taking Over". ?
In July of 2006, she was signed to a production deal with the legendary Chi-Sound Records ran by Mr. Carl Davis who has hosted artists such as Gene Chandler, Tyrone Davis, The Dells, Manchild featuring Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and the Chi-Lites. KoSha quickly began increasing her performances with performances at the Black Arts Festival in Kalamazoo, MI, Ribs and Soul festival in Detroit, Mi, and more local performances in the Chicagoland area. She has been spotted performing on local cable access television channels as well as featured on local college radio stations and syndicated stations. The hit single "Angel In Da Sky" featuring Moesta from her debut album entitled "B4 My Time...I Got Next!!! was featured in the BET movie "Reflections", directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love And Basketball) in February 2007. She was also the recipient of the 2007 1st Annual Orkitt Awards as Best New Female Hip Hop Artist In Chicago.
?Due to certain circumstances, but within good terms, KoSha left Chi-Sound Records at the end of her contract late in July of 2007 to pursue her own record label, B-Smooth Enterprise, LLC. KoSha has worked with multi-platinum and gold producer Kevin "K-Low" Rhames of LiveSquad who produced such artists as Tupac Shakur, Nas, Biggie, Digital Underground, just to name a few. He is expected to provide more production guidance on her upcoming album.
?With all of the obstacles in her path during her journey to be a female hip hop artist with longevity, KoSha has managed to stay self motivated and determined to strive to be the best. One must agree that her determination and drive and the music she pours out from her soul will definitely put her in the rankings of a Mc Lyte, Queen Latifa and those who are considered to be female hip hop history makers.
